Why Most People Are Unhappy
We are all in pursuit of the same thing in life.
We are all trying to carve out a career, life and self-identity that we are happy with.
We are all in the pursuit of happiness, but most of us fail at achieving this goal.
Why?
We do not understand what living a happy life means.
We do not understand what living a happy life means to ourselves, but we definitely know the societal definition of happiness.
We have not actually sat down with ourselves, and tuned out all of the bullshit we have been fed from society, our parents, the media and our friends as to what an idyllic life means for ourselves and that is why we are unhappy.
We are unhappy because we are not first and foremost defining happiness for ourselves.
I do not seek a happy life.
That is a silly goal. A happy life? What does that mean exactly? That I would be moving through my day in complete bliss at all times? I would never feel tired, hungry, stressed or otherwise? That seems like a really outrageous and unrealistic goal when you look at it like that.
